Tips for online usage

Premier Pro CS4 Mac Noob
I am creating online video's for our company and was wondering if anyone has tips on file format, encoding (H.264, FLV etc) and other settings to use to make small files of acceptable quality.
A 3 minute movie I put together (from 3 H.264 recordings and an AI file) encoded at H.264 ended up as 12MB even though the 3 recordings I used totaled around 8MB. I do have a quick transition of the AI file as well for maybe 5 seconds.
I looked at other online video's and found the file sizes to be about half of what mine is and the quality looks better.
Thanks very much in advance for any tips or suggestions.

OK through trial and error I found that setting the FPS to 10 instead of 29 or 30 helps reduced the file size even though the estimated size was showing higher.
So my settings are :
H.264
10 frames per second
VBR 2 pass .5 and 4MB
Audio is 128 Medium
I think I am actually going to use flash to play the movie and overlap it with Vector transitions and buttons like email links.
Any other suggestions are much appreciated.

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

Faults on BT's online usage meter page

Assuming that it is July 1st today, surely my online usage meter at bt.com should have reset to zero. It still shows 30GB used out of 40GB (Option 2) as if it were still June.
What's more, clicking the Help with BB Usage links merely replicates the same page.
Something is not right. Woe betide BT if I get charged for exceeding my limit.

Mine's been reset in the last few hours between about 0200 hrs and 0830 hrs on the 2 July, with a new date on the left - 1 July 23:59. The previous datestamp on the "incorrect" meter page was 30 June 23:59.
But here's a strange thing: this morning at about 01:30 my Home Hub page was registering a reboot 3 days 12 hrs ago, and an incredibly wild usage figure of 45GB download, 7 hrs later it reads 2 days 22 hrs with the same d/l record

Adobe Illustrator Help: tips for how to get started?

I am new to adobe products. Does anyone have any tips for someone new who is just starting out
with adobe illustrator? I have not used it before. Any beginner tips on how to get started with adobe
illustrator would be appreciated. Thanks

start by reading the documentation and follow the samples shown, get familiar with the user interface, get to know where the tools are and what they do...and the most important thing practice, practice, practice.
other than that, there are plenty of resources online, depending on your learning style, buy a book, follow tutorials, watch videos, take a class.

Itunes 12 track names not found and user not registered for online use

I recently downloaded itunes 12, and now when I try to import a CD the track names or CD information is not found.... So when I click on options to Get Track Names....it tells me user is not registered for online use... I am running windows 7.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing - didn't work.
I have tried removing a file and then have it repaired... didn't work.
Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

You could try deleting the entire %appdata%/Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow folders in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Any Tips for editing Live Event 2 camera shoot?

I need to quickly edit a 2 DV camera recording of a live multi-scene performance (duration of 90 minutes), with audio additionally recorded on a good quality remote mic.
I have used FCE for some time, but not for several months. I have managed to forget many of the lessons learnt through trial and error, as well as by reading Tom wolsky's FCE Editing Workshop! So shortcut tips would be very helpful.
I am also using FCE 3.5 for the first time after my upgrade.
1
I want to make a safety copy of the synced rushes, as well as keeping the original camera sound recording as a back-up guide track.
2
I am worried about making sure I am working with Master clips, so that when I edit I don't mess up any of the source material. I am a little confused.
3
I would appreciate anyone with any suggestions or tips for the best edit process, and any warnings or other guidance. Speed is of essence. (ie there is no budget).
4
I am considering making separate sequences for each scene (14 scenes in all of varying length and complexity). Is this advisable rather than creating one programme length sequence?
5
I am considering making the audio into one mono track for simplicity, as the auditorium acoustics have "mixed up" the sound, with little stereo separation. Should I then duplicate the track to build the sound quality at the end?
Any other general Tips always welcome.
Thank you in advance. I appreciate all the unsung contributors to this group.

I am a pretty good source for basic sound info - you can email me if you like
[email protected]
you are right about the link - I am sorry - i checked the website before I typed the link in too! A blond moment
A low shelf filter - as included in FCE and soundtrack cuts the bottom off a soundmix. 20hz is a low frequency - not many speaker systems can reproduce this frequency, and most speaker systems can't even get to 40hz - even you high fi system or speakers which say they may be able too present sound for 20hz to 20khz - well unless you have spent an aweful lot of money and have a sub bass speaker the size of a car probably may only go down to 40hz, and the production of any 20hz sounds is more likely a feeling - a psychoacousticc effect. The thing about cutting off the bass is that practically it can make the recording sound less muddy, and you can make the recording sound louder. Most recordings for CD play have the bass started to roll of pretty heavily at 40hz and nothing present at 20hz... theirs this thing called narquist theory which talks about frequency responce - but it is this math heavy thing - so basically cut out a good amount of the sub bass. A low shelf filter does this and If you want to be conservative cut below 20hz, and if you want to be real give it a good cut below 35hz.
Now I was sure that their was a mac version of that monofilter that I saw on the web page - I have a PC and do most of my audio work on a PC as that is what I have used the most. If you can get the mono filter work it will make the bottom end sound much better - more natural - less clicky and perhaps abnoxious.... those of us who like trip hop are always striving to get a nice warm bass that represents itself well on a range of speakers. something smooth - it is a bit of a trick - monofilter is one of those tricks.
If you put the bass in mono (below 250hz ish) and keep the phase right speakers find it easier to work with the signal. Also stereo bass is not something that translates well on speakers... Bass tends to just flood the room where as the more mid and trebbly sounds give the audio a feeling of distance and space and left and right. The monofilter has a bass compression/limiting and phase correction built itno it, and implimented on a slider called 'trim'. Listen to your recording on good speakers and probably just bring the trim down a touch (my guess)... as complex as it sounds the monofilter is very easy to use, and is super clever. Now I thought that nugen had a mac audio unit plugin - that is a pity if they don't and kind of makes my advice seem irelevant unless you are prepared to download an application that can use VST's.
Amy
be careful using an eq as most eq's disrupt the phase of the signal and can reek havok on live recordings. but do give it a low shelf filter at least below -20 but probably below -40 to -80 for practicalitys sake
This is a bit over my head, I am afraid. Do you know a source of basic info for sound recording to help explain such things? It could be a book or an online resource?
lol, what i meant was 20hz or 40 too 80hz - their is a low shelf filter in soundtrack that works well - I am talking about cutting off the low frequency bits of the recording here. Nugen audio has a little pdf that comes out with the monofilter talking about bass signals... I know it is geared towards music and perhaps music that you want to have a nice bass feel - however it translates to the real world too - You will be suprised at how great your audio will sound if you cut off a chunk of the sub bass, and put the low bass in mono.
then you could look at exciting the signal - but that is another story....

I'm afraid not. Mags like Computer Arts and others have occasional articles interspersed or specials (Computer Arts Projects) but if you want my opinion: You can find much better resources online.

Tools for Monitoring Usage?

On this page I find the following, along with other info:
Usage Alerts – A free tool that helps you monitor your usage via text messages sent directly to your mobile device
Usage Alerts
My Verizon
Usage Meters
Cost
Free
Access Method
• Text Messaging
• Email
Automatic Notifications
Yes, for data usage.
See below for voice
and messaging usage*
Usage Alerts
This tool helps you monitor your usage via free text messages sent directly to your mobile device and / or emails sent to your email account. We offer two different types of free usage alerts: data usage alerts and voice and messaging alerts.
Voice and Messaging Alerts: If you have usage based pricing for voice or messaging, we may send you a free text message alert if you exceed, or are trending to exceed, your allowances on or around the twentieth day of your bill cycle.
How to Get It
Usage alerts are included with all usage based plans; no initial setup is required.
I just had a bill with $112 overage for voice, I believe the overage began 13 days before the end of my billing cycle. If I'm reading the above correctly I should have been notified but wasn't. Associate I spoke with couldn't explain but did offer 30% discount. @.45/min. the charge is much too high anyway. Can anyone explain why I wasn't notified so I could avoid this overage?

I understand your frustration of receiving a bill that isn't what you expected but sometimes this happened because a number of possible things that may have been over looked or even simply a possible error but I have to point out that the usage automated system updates daily but isn't guaranteed to be 100% reliable because of a number of different variables that could cause the information to be off. My suggestion is to use the #BAL from the device or #MIN to check usage, these are usually closer to the correct usage balance.
Another got suggestion to avoid this from happening is to log into your MyVerizon app on your device or online and keep track of your activity there..

Tips for optimizing for speed?

It may be awhile before I can afford a new computer, so I was wondering of any tips for optimizing my current computer for speed.
*Of particular interest is the CPU usage graph of the Activity Monitor: why isn't the graph pegged* when an application is running an intensive process? In other words, when I am doing something with the computer, I expect it to be giving 200% effort (because I have two CPUs in my computer). So why isn't it?
And what can I do to fix it? How can I get the CPUs to work at full power? I've already maxed out the memory, using quality (Kingston) RAM.
I fully realize that the bottleneck in speed in most computers is the hard drive. I do what I can in that regard (keep them optimized, repair permissions, and so on).
+*I just want the CPUs to be giving their all when required.*+ Is there a third party app that would help? Any tips, advice or suggestions will be appreciated!
And, on a related note, why was it, when Macs used PowerPCs, were we told that "RISC always beats CISC"? That is, PowerPCs were faster and more efficient than Intel chips? But now, with Macs using Intel exclusively, we are told as to how wonderful Intel chips are? Any thoughts on that?

Software applications and OS don't, and it is a myth of sorts that 100% per core is being efficient, sometimes it is, usually it is not.
There isn't much bandwidth to begin with, and some have tried 10K VelociRaptor in their G5 1.8s only to find the WD Black 640GB was just as good or better, but you don't want drives older than a year ago in there.
Mac Pro used - and there are some 2009's 2.66GHz 4-core $1800, or from Apple, or look at $900 iMac even.
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/mac_pro
A lot of applications are not optimized or can't or are still stuck in pre-multi-threaded era, especially under PPC code.
And what pray tell instead of generalities are you running, so people can provide more specifics?

Online Usage Meter?

Years ago I was able to get a report from the My Account section of the website to see my monthly usage. I can't find any clear links to such a tool anymore, and when the search results for this site come up with a link to the "Online Usage Tool", the link just takes me back to My Account. Am I missing something?

I do recall seeing that link way back when. I think it was used more for those who still used Dial-up from Verizon, and not DSL (FiOS wasn't well known at the time of that link being around), but as far as I know it was always a broken function. It was probably removed because Verizon doesn't employ Data limits on their Wireline services (thankfully) and Dial-up has pretty much passed us.

Online Usage Statistics

This post is about online usage statistics
Why are they not provided, when BT clearly has the information (it's provided in the "over the limit") e-mails that BT send?
Why does BT continue to ignore (for at least the last 2 years) the several e-mails / complaints every day on the subject to the (Indian) Customer Service Centre?
The standard answer is "download tracking software", but that's fairly useless and impractical for multi-computer users
The next common answer is "check the Hub statistics", but that's also unreliable due to periodic resets
The real answer is for BT to provide this information from the point of collection - i.e. their servers and via a web gateway
So come on BT, provide the information
TIA
Martin

So I got another warning today about exceeding the limit
Same story, no definate data, no knowledge when online data would be provided
Except that the man said "it used to be provided online, when usage limits were less"
If it was provided - why is now witheld ?

Online usage update

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
The online usage meter is a day in arrears (as shown on the left hand side given the date/time of the uodate). The update always shows the usage for the month so far up to midnight the day before. On 1st of the month it will show the total usage for the previous month. From 7am or soon after on the 2nd, it will start again.
For non unlimted packages, it does seem a little strange, but the relevant date is the one on the left for which the usage figure applies.
The online usage meter is not real time as can bee seen by that date on the left.
